Comment (by TormanToo):

 "Trygpg2 --recv A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89orsudo gpg
 --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv
 A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89"
 Your first command returned:
 gpg: keybox '/home/ace/.gnupg/pubring.kbx' created
 gpg: keyserver receive failed: No keyserver available

 Your second command returned:
 gpg: requesting key 886DDD89 from hkp server pool.sks-keyservers.net
 gpg: /home/ace/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
 gpg: key 886DDD89: public key "deb.torproject.org archive signing key"
 imported
 gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
 gpg: Total number processed: 1
 gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)

 Now that looks promising.

 " It's funny how many useful pages pop up searching for this key id.

 Alternatively one can try to search for a key on a keyserver with a web
 interface and download the key from there (note the 0x before the key id):
 ​https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0xA3C4F0F979CADBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89"

 Oh, I'm sorry.  Ii thought you guys knew how to install Tor on Ubuntu.  I
 guess your just playing around with this page.

 But then that makes me question why you even bother posting the page.  Why
 not just tell your users to go fish?

 On the other hand, if you're done playing around, then stick to the
 subject.  I am testing your documented instructions, I'm not doing your
 research.  Get that done.  Let me know when you rewrite the instruction
 page.
